The story in Luke 2:1-20 recounts the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph were required to travel to Bethlehem for a census, and while they were there, Jesus was born and laid in a manger. Angels appeared to shepherds in the fields, telling them of the birth of the Savior, and the shepherds went to Bethlehem to see the baby.
This event is celebrated as the first Christmas, and it serves as a reminder of the joy and hope that Christ's birth brings to the world. The story highlights the humble circumstances of Jesus' birth and the announcement of His arrival to the most unlikely of people.
